All We Have Is Today

For those days when you feel like you'll never be enough.

Is it still happiness when the only person who sees that smile is your reflection?

When your voice just echoes across an empty room

The belief of independence with the letters beginning to crumble

Whispering that you’ll never be enough

Not smart enough. Not pretty enough. Not good enough.

Always being second in a world made up of firsts

A fire who’s flame is slowly burning out

Would anyone even notice the darkness?

Speaking a language no one else seems to understand

A song you only know the lyrics to

Writing words to a story no one ever wanted to read

They tell you to get back up after you fall

But never offer a hand to help you up

Having to swim to survive

Yet only ever treading water

Searching for a life raft to take me to shore

But f**k, am I tired.

You need to stop listening to that negative inner voice. Do you really know what will make you feel "enough?"
